Description
This is a nice, crimpy 5.11c to the right of
Free Tibet. It is not too steep, so you won't get flash pumped. I think this climb will be a good warm-up for harder projects or a project if you're gunning for 11c. Either way, I feel like this is a nice addition to the grade, and it's been dry all summer, in what has been a very wet season in Durango, and many of the classic routes have been seeping.
